The Aftermath of Having Slept with the Villain
Chapter 222: Stand-in Lover (34)World Seven. Stand-in Lover (34)
The trip has brought about an invisible change in the relationship between the two.
Xue Xue and Chi Yu had different views, but they tacitly didn’t mention it.
As the New Year’s Eve approached, “Lai Yao” hosted a grand banquet.
All employees of the company could participate. Xue Xue entrusted the matter to the experienced Secretary Chen. On the day of the banquet, they directly booked a floor of the hotel and invited several groups of singers to perform to add to the fun. As for the final climax, it was naturally a lucky draw.
Despite the turbulent shareholder structure this year, Lai Yao has achieved significant growth in revenue, gross profit margin, profitability and other aspects, and its share price has reached a new high and so was not stingy with the prizes.
Among them, the biggest prize was a luxury car worth millions, and the tax part was partly responsible by the company.
After Xue Xue came to the stage to give a speech and personally selected the lucky employee, the banquet ended in a warm atmosphere.
The whole event was scheduled to end at 9:00 pm, but it was already past ten o’clock when Xue Xue finished socializing. Secretary Chen, who was supposed to drive her home, received a call from his wife just after greeting Xue Xue.
“Hello… eh? What did you say? Yang Yang has a fever? I know, but I…how about you take a taxi… hah? No… I’ve already told you…”Xue Xue waited for Secretary Chen to hang up the phone, and asked, “Does your son have a fever?”
Yang Yang was Secretary Chen’s son. Although the child was born unexpectedly, Secretary Chen and his wife liked him very much. He just entered the fourth grade of elementary school this year.
“Yes, he started to have a runny nose a few days ago. My wife was the one who was going to take him to see a doctor…” Secretary Chen stopped his words, with an annoyed expression on his face. “Well, it’s meaningless to say these things now…but boss, don’t worry, I will send you back first.”
Hearing this, Xue Xue shook her head at him.
“Your child has a fever, you should go home and have a look first.”
When Secretary Chen heard Xue Xue say this, he was shocked for a moment, but he still hesitated about his duties.
“This……”
Xue Xue and Secretary Chen have been getting along for a long time, so they naturally knew the character of a man who was dedicated to his duties.
“Take it as the boss’s order.” Xue Xue folded her arms and said lazily. “The boss is ordering you now, hurry home and take your son to see a doctor.”
Secretary Chen looked at Xue Xue who was standing under the lamppost, the light and shadow casted a soft color on her white and tender skin, making her look less serious than her usual stern face at work, and much more friendly.
Secretary Chen was in a daze for a moment.
It is true that Xue Li is a woman with both means and ability, and the achievements she has made in just a few years after taking over “Lai Yao” can stop those idle mouths, but no matter how outstanding her performance is, there is inevitably gossips behind her back.
Those evaluations are not objective but are mixed with personal jealousy, dissatisfaction and resentment, but when those people talk behind Xue Li’s back, they often forget that in the life of ordinary people, she is just a pyoung person who has just stepped out of society and is perhaps still figuring out the future direction of her life.
Besides, others may not know the situation of the Xue family, but Secretary Chen knows it very well. Although she has a proud background from birth, Xue Li’s childhood was definitely not associated with happiness.
As a parent, he really couldn’t understand the cruelty of Xue Zhen and Yang Qingmei. In Secretary Chen’s eyes, although Xue Li was a boss who needed to be respected, she was also a little girl who lacked love since childhood and made people feel distressed.
It was also because of this that he couldn’t help but want to care more about the other party. Someone once laughed and said that he might be a secretary but was no different from a nanny.
“Ms. Xue…”
Xue Xue glanced over, and Secretary Chen immediately understood, and after settling down the excess emotions in his heart, he bowed to her.
“Thank you.”
Xue Xue waved her hand, and after confirming that Secretary Chen’s figure had disappeared into the night, she turned around slowly and walked in another direction.
She planned to walk for a while to cool off and then go to the street to take a taxi.
But Xue Xue only walked forward a few minutes, a low-profile black sedan drove up to her and honked.
Xue Xue turned her head, and the first thing that came into view was the animal logo, a symbol of prestige and luxury, and then a number that looked familiar.
The window rolled down and Xue Xue’s question was quickly answered.
The person who came was Xue Dehui.
“Get in the car, I’ll take you back.”
Xue Xue frowned, a little hesitant.
However, Xue Dehui had already opened the door of the back seat. Seeing that the man seemed persistent, she pondered for a while, and finally got into his car.
The back seat was spacious and well-equipped.
There is a faint smell of cologne in the car, which is a very mature masculine scent, and is not unpleasant.
“Where?” Xue Dehui asked after adjusting the air conditioner and restarting the car, looking at Xue Xue from the rearview mirror. “Is it too cold?”
“No.” Xue Xue answered Xue Dehui’s words, pulling off her loose shawl. “The apartment on Huhai Road.”
“Why don’t you go home and have a look?”
Go home? Isn’t she going home?
Xue Xue was confused for a while, until Xue Dehui said: “You haven’t been back to see Dad for a long time.”
Only then did it dawn on her that the home Xue Dehui was talking about was the home of Xue Zhen and Gao Yin.
“He wouldn’t want to see me either.”
Xue Xue didn’t know what Xue Dehui’s purpose was, but from Xue Li’s memory, she knew that the last time the father and daughter met was during Chinese New Year last year. Obviously it was a family reunion, but they parted unhappily.
Hearing what Xue Xue said, Xue Dehui was silent for a moment, and then changed the topic that made Xue Xue feel inexplicable: “Xiangxiang is pregnant, Fu Qingyu’s child.”
“…I know.” Xue Xue paused and said tentatively. “I heard from Chi Yu.”
At that time, the two were entangled fiercely on the bed, and when Chi Yu suddenly said this, Xue Xue only had a feeling of “as expected”, and no other emotions.
So she just responded lightly.
Probably satisfied with her calmness, Chi Yu didn’t mention this matter again in the next few days. She didn’t expect to hear it again from Xue Dehui now.
There was a subtle sense of disharmony.
But what made Xue Xue feel weirder was Xue Dehui’s next question.
“Chi Yu… you guys are still together?”
